Haad Yao Spa Hotel

"A beautiful resort within the hills / forest, set away from the main road and is only really accessible via taxi or the hotel shuttle bus (or scooter). We were on a budget & made use of the twice free daily shuttle to go to fisherman’s village and made sure we had drinks/snacks etc for when we wanted to spend the day relaxing on the resort (at the amazing pool and on our balcony with stunning views). There are twice weekly yoga classes and a new wellness programme. My husband and I did a mindfulness / positive thought session with Dean in guest relations and it was great, relaxing and in spirit with the beautiful surroundings. Breakfast is amazing with such a good range of options, both a buffet of pastries, breads, fruit, Thai soup and rice and fabulous juices plus made to order various breakfast meals. However I was really disappointed in the lack of vegetarian options for the rest of the menu once breakfast stopped. We shared a pizza and it wasn’t good, nachos and a vege burger were other options, I wish there’d been more vege inspiration. Prices for drinks and food were about 3 times above our budget (and treatments compared to the main road) but wine options were great which was a rare find in our three weeks in Thailand, much appreciated. Beautiful 3 night stay."

"We enjoyed our stay at Amari. The pools were great, the breakfast was amazing ( it was almost like a dinner with the variety) The staff were pleasant. The only thing that was not as we had hoped was the beach. In front of the hotel, there is a lot of algae and is very shallow. However, if you walk 10 minutes down the beach, it is gorgeous. As long as you are OK to take a little walk, you will find a stunning, clear beach. "

"Amazing place to stay. It’s a little far if you’re trying to visit around Phangan but with such an amazing resort and service. You find yourself not wanting to leave. The staff go above and beyond. Highly recommend. "

"Great private beach hotel. Amazing staff and food. "

"This is a stunning property! Garden Pool Villas are bright, clean, private and vastly spacious. You could easily spend your whole vacation time in this space. Staff are exceptional in every way. Two fabulous restaurants, daily breakfast, free parking, two pools and beach frontage of course. Centrally located (but not right in the middle of it). DO NOT hesitate or think twice. We will definately be returning."
